I am speaking for my friend. She got this book and she learned how to play perfectly. She sounded like she has been playing for years. We are in a band I sang but now I am getting a guitar because our band will sound twice as great with me playing and singing. So thanks to this book I am learning how to play a guitar!!!!!!!!!!
